    Created early morning on Ft Myers beach using poor man's ground pod (elbows sunk six inches in the mud).

    Angle, light and pose look good. If it were mine I would crop it a bit tighter, particularly I would take some off the bottom.

    Beautiful light, nice BG, well exposed image. I agree with Axel to take some off the bottom. It would improve the picture a lot. Congratulations.

    The light is drop dead gorgeous and also agree that a further crop off the bottom would help this image. Love the placement of the bird and the space.

    Definitely crop some off the bottom. There is also a dark spot right next to the bird's forehead that grabs my attention. Nice low angle, and good feeding pose.

    I would too crop from the bottom, more of a a pano crop would look better IMO. Nice light, pose, low angle, detail, colors and species.
    Congratulaitons!

    I like the pano (and environment/light) but I did go tighter and took some off the bottom as suggested. And Daniel, that dark spot in the BG drove me crazy once you mentioned it (didn't even see it before). It was reprocessed from scratch so settings will not be exactly the same. Any better? As always, thanks for the learnings.

    David, lovely light, and I like the pastel colours in this. The low angle works well, and I would be inclined to take even more of the bottom. As one cant see a full reflection, I dont believe it adds.

    I like the peacefulness of your image David. It appears that the critical sharpness is on the body and not the head? Lovely light.
    Thanks for sharing mate. :)
